Flatwater Golfs

Flatwater is proud to host the Mama Betty’s Golf Classic alongside Jason Carrier and Mama Betty’s Tex-Mex. Each year, this tournament brings together golfers, sponsors, and community supporters to raise money for our mission.

why we golf

Since 2018, Jason Carrier, founder of Mama Betty's Tex-Mex Cantina, and Jessica Lombardi have brought our community together through the Mama Betty's Golf Classic (MBGC) - a day of golf, connection, and giving in support of Flatwater’s mission.

What began as a single tournament has grown into an annual tradition filled with fun, connection, and purpose at every hole. Together, the Mama Betty’s Golf Classic community has raised more than $275k helping make 2,600 therapy sessions possible for those impacted by cancer in our Central Texas community.

For some, the golf course offers a sense of calm and clarity - a place that represents their own “flatwater”. Through this tournament, our community helps others find that same sense of support, hope, and steadiness during one of life’s most difficult seasons.
